I'm an atheist, so I can't really turn to religion to find meaning. My view on it is that there is no meaning to life, life just is, you are given these abilities to think, see, hear, smell, taste, touch, and you make of it what you want to. I suppose that's a pretty existentialist outlook. I suppose if I were to be anything I woud be a Buddhist (particularly Theravada Buddhism, the kind that doesn't have a God) as I've studied it quite a bit and its beliefs appear very sensible and logical (logic being something which many religions lack), but the only problem with that is that I agree with everything Buddhism says except for reincarnation, and that sort of defeats the entire purpose. I do believe that it is possible for human beings to achieve a state of complete and utter detachment from the ego, though, and that ultimately this is the definition of enlightenment. I don't think I am likely to reach that state in my lifetime, though.
